How Likely are the Reviewers to Recommend Meridian Community Care Ltd (Canterbury)&quest;

As a family, we have found Meridian Community Care to be a very reliable service. My mother has been extremely fortunate in her Carers, who have looked after her with care, compassion, dignity and above all with a sense of humour. Not only have they looked after my mother but they have become good friends and worked in partnership with the family.
We have always felt listened to and if there have been any issues things have always been dealt with promptly. Their professional service has allowed my mother to remain independent in her home.

I have found carers very helpful, punctual and supportive. My husband has not always been cooperative but all his carers managed to cope with him cheerfully.
All carers came to work appropriately dressed and had a very businesslike, though friendly air.
A very good service all round.

Meridian Care has provided exactly what they promised. Staff names were given before visiting started and the same carers always came. Care was consistent and adaptable to my mother's needs as they changed. Mum had a main carer who was adaptable, kind, gentle and friendly. All appointments were kept promptly, any unforeseen change in staff was notified prior to the visit.
There was never any problem with invoicing, cancelled visits were never charged for. The management were so flexible with short notice changes, they felt like part of the family.
I trusted them all completely.

We have had Meridian Community Care Ltd taking care of my sister who has dementia. She has now been moved to a nursing home. Whilst in the care of Meridian Community Care Ltd she was treated with kindness and dignity. The office staff were also very polite and showed concern for my sister's welfare.
